hsCADCreator is a new CAD editor that offers a wide range of features that allow quick and intuitive design of technical, architectural, and engineering drawings.

· DXF - Drawing eXchange Format
Versions (r9, r10, r12, r13, r14, r15, r18)

Formats (3D, Compressed Binary, Uncompressed Binary, Zipped ASCII Encoded 2D Stream, ASCII)

In addition, hsCADCreator also provides the ability to convert both between these formats and between different versions and types of these formats.
